Q.	" I heard my teeth could be whitened in 1- 1/2 hours. Is this true?"

"Yes! Masterpiece Smiles is an authorized professional teeth whitening center for Single-Visit Whitening systems. Using special gel and blue light activators, dramatic results can be achieved in 1-1/2 hours.

"How white will my teeth get?"

"Our results with single-visit whitening have been as much as 9 half-shades whiter. Your results will vary depending on the darkness of your teeth and other circumstances."

"How long will it last?"

"The results of single-visit whitening will last for years. Your teeth, however, are as individual as you are, so results may vary."

"Is is safe?"

"Yes. The gel's primary ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, has been safely used in the mouth for over 100 years.

"Will it hurt?"

"No. Typically, the single-visit whitening process is painless. In fact, accompanied by peaceful music and the soothing blue-light atmosphere, most find it an extremely relaxing experience.

A very small percentage of people may experience minor tooth sensitivity following the procedure. Taking an analgesic almost always resolves this feeling. It id wise to avoid very hot or very cold drinks for the first 24 hour if you notice any tooth sensitivity at all. If you have experienced teeth or gum sensitivity during other dental procedures, you should discuss options with your doctor beforehand."
